Biography:
Dale Watson (born 1962, Birmingham, Alabama) is an American alternative country singer, guitarist and songwriter based in Austin, Texas. He's positioned himself as a tattooed, stubbornly independent outsider who is interested in recording authentic country music. As a result, his record sales have been slow, but he's become a favorite of critics and Alt-Country fans.
He has won the British Country Music Awards Best International Artist on an Independent Label, and country music awards in the Netherlands and Spain.

Carryin' On This Way
Written and recorded by Dale Watson
[Verse 1]
C Dm
Good mornin' fella you don't look too good today
Your eyes are red your skin is pale
G7 C
You look like you could use a shave
Dm
You had a good time last night look at the price you had to pay
You think that you'd know better than to still
G7 C
Be carryin' on this way
[Verse 2]
Dm
Look at the gray stickin' out of your hair
You think that you could take a hint
G7 C
There's a reason mother nature put it there
While you're out there makin' more wrinkles
Dm
Your family's makin' more memories everyday
Y think that you'd know better than to still
G7 C
Be carryin' on this way
[Chorus]
F Am G7 C
Crashin' into 40 might better think about growin' up
Dm G7
You got a wife and kids that lean on you are you strong enough
F Am G7 C
Get down off your high horse ain't nobody listenin' to what you say
Dm
You think that you'd know better than to still
G7 C
Be carryin' on this way
[Verse 3]
Dm
I rinse off the toothbrush put the lid back on the toothpaste tube
G7 C
Then I look up in the mirror just to get me one more good look at you
Dm
Man you can't be as dumb as you look it ain't too late to make a change
You think that you'd know better than to still
G7 C
Be carryin' on this way
[Chorus]
F Am G7 C
Crashin' into 40 might better think about growin' up
Dm G7
You got a wife and kids that lean on you are you strong enough
F Am G7 C
Get down off your high horse ain't nobody listenin' to what you say
Dm
You think that you'd know better than to still
G7 C
Be carryin' on this way
[Outro]
Dm
Yeah you think that you'd know better than to still
G7 C
Be carryin' on this way
